Outfit: Maxi Sweat Dress with Pale Pink Chelsea Boots

The last few days have been beautiful here in North Yorkshire. Clear, frosty mornings, with blue skies and bright sunshine. It’s finally beginning to feel a little like spring, but during these transitional times, I sometimes wonder what to wear on my feet. It’s still too cold to go bare-legged if going outdoors, yet, it’s nice to wear something a little lighter than winter boots and opaque tights.

The answer to this comes in the form of these divine nude pink leather Chelsea Boots. From Clarks, they are the perfect for wearing with both dresses and nude tights and with jeans and they had their first outing today.

Along with my friend Sally, I went to a brilliant local cafe to review it for April’s issue of Aspire magazine. The Pie and Mash shop is famed in these parts for its excellent, hearty homemade food. Located in Skipton’s canal basin the cafe welcomes both locals and tourists alike. I’ll share the full review when it’s out in print next month but suffice to say, it was very fulfilling!

I chose my outfit with this in mind, opting to wear my maxi sweat dress by Monks on Vacation.

I’ll be having an early night tonight because I’m attending the Blognix conference in Northamptonshire this weekend. It means a 4.30am wake up tomorrow morning, for me to get on the road and arrive for the start. My wonderful parents are looking after my children, reminding me as always that I have the best family. I’ll miss the children terribly- I always do- but I know they’re with people who love and cherish them as much as I do, and I rest easy knowing that.

I’ll blog about this next week but please keep an eye on my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram which I’ll endeavor to update while I’m there!
